YOU CAN COUNT ON.
>> RIGHT NOW AT 4 HOMES ARE
FALLING IN THE OCEAN. IT'S
VERY PEOPLE ACROSS CENTRAL
FLORIDA ARE GETTING AN UP
CLOSE LOOK AT DAMAGE FROM
HURRICANE NICOLE. 6 WEEKS
AFTER HURRICANE IAN DEVASTATED
OUR AREA. IT STARTED FLOODING
YESTERDAY MORNING. THE WATER
IS GOING INTO STORM DRAINS.
>> BUT AS PEOPLE START TO
CLEAN UP THE DANGER FOR SOME
ISN'T OVER YET. THEY STARTED
BANGING ON THE DOOR TELLING US
WE HAD TO EVACUATE. AND THIS
IS A LIVE LOOK RIGHT NOW AT
WHERE TROPICAL STORM NICOLE IS
AS IT CONTINUES TO MOVE NORTH.
>> IT IS DESTROYED PARTS OF
OUR COAST. SO MANY PEOPLE
IMPACTED THAT.
IMPACTED THAT. >> MAY NEVER RECOVER FROM THE
DAMAGE. TAKE A LOOK AT THIS
VIDEO. IT CLEARLY SHOWS THE
BEFORE AND AFTER DESTRUCTION
ON THE VOLUSIA COUNTY
COASTLINE, YOU CAN SEE A HOME
AND WILBUR BY THE SEA,
ACTUALLY JUST COLLAPSED RIGHT
INTO THE OCEAN. OTHERS ARE
SEVERELY DAMAGED AND TEETERING
ON HAVING THE SAME FATE. GOOD
AFTERNOON. I'M GREG WARMOTH.
I'M DARLENE JONES UP TOP
THERE. WHAT YOU SAW WAS THE
BEFORE AND AFTER BECAUSE WE
WANTED TO SHOW YOU JUST HOW
IMPACTFUL THIS STORM HAS BEEN
ALONG OUR COASTLINE.
>> THIS HERE IS A LIVE LOOK AT
THE FLAGLER BEACH PIER, AN
AREA WE HAVE BEEN MONITORING
AND YOU CAN SEE JUST HOW
CHOPPY THE WATERWAYS THERE ARE
ALONG THE SHORELINE FOR MORE
THAN 24 HOURS NOW. WE'VE HAD A
TEAM OF REPORTERS SPREAD OUT
ACROSS CENTRAL FLORIDA,
SHOWING YOU THE IMPACT OF THE
STORM. AND NOW THIS AFTERNOON,
WE WILL SHOW YOU THE DAMAGE
LEFT BEHIND FOR OUR NEIGHBORS
IN OUR COMMUNITIES. BUT FIRST,
LET'S CHECK IN WITH CHIEF
METEOROLOGIST TOM. YOU ARE
STILL TRACKING NICOLE. THAT'S
RIGHT. WE STILL HAVE A VERY
LARGE TROPICAL STORM, VERY
LARGE WIND FIELD. WELL, OVER
450 MILES. AND WHEN THAT IS
NOW MOVING NORTH, BUT STILL
FAIRLY BREEZY ACROSS THE AREA.
>> HERE YOU SEE THE TRACK. IT
CAME ONSHORE. VERO BEACH,
ROUGHLY AROUND 03:00AM WE
TRACKED ALL THE WAY THROUGH
OUR SOUTHERN COUNTIES. I WENT
RIGHT OVER. WINTER HAVEN IS
NOW MOVING TO THE NORTH AT
ABOUT 15 MILES PER HOUR. STILL
SOME KIND RESIDUAL LIGHT
SQUALLY SHOWERS HERE. WE HAD
WIND GUSTS. 41, IT WILL LIST
AND STILL LIGHT RAIN FOR OCALA
GETTING JUST A LITTLE SPRINKLE
OR 2 ON THE BACKSIDE OF THIS.
BUT WE HAD A LITTLE BIT OF DRY
AIR. FORTUNATELY THAT CAME
INTO THE CENTER MITIGATES SOME
OF THE FLOOD THREAT THAT WE
WERE FEARING WE MIGHT HAVE
ACROSS THE INTERIOR. I WANT TO
UPDATE THE IMPACTS. HOW MUCH
WHO HAD THE STRONGEST WINDS,
ALL OF THAT A LITTLE BIT LATER
RIGHT NOW, WE STILL HAVE SOME
FAIRLY BRISK WINDS COMING IN
NOW OUT OF THE SOUTH, THE
HIGHEST WAGE ARE NOW MOVING
NORTH TOWARD THE CAROLINA
COASTLINE. BUT WE DO HAVE A
HIGH TIDE CYCLE COMING UP
BETWEEN 8 AND 9 O'CLOCK AND
STILL HAVE HIGHER THAN NORMAL
TIDES BECAUSE OF THE KING
TIDE. THE FULL MOON THAT WE
JUST HAD ON MONDAY, GREG. SO
WE STILL HAVE ISSUES TO COME
TONIGHT WITH THAT NEXT HIGH
TIDE CYCLE ALONG THE BEACHES.
WE'RE GOING TO CHECK BACK IN,
OF COURSE, THROUGHOUT THIS
NEWSCAST WITH YOU, TOM AND THE
TEAM. MEANTIME, WANT TO TAKE
YOU OUT TO MAYBE THE HARDEST
HIT AREA BY THE STORM, WILBUR
BY THE SEA IN VOLUSIA COUNTY.
IT IS BASICALLY SANDWICHED
BETWEEN DAYTONA BEACH SHORES
IN PONCE INLET. YOU CAN SEE
PARTS OF THIS HOME WASHED INTO
THE OCEAN. AND COUNTY LEADERS
SAY THE TIDE EXPECTED, AS TOM
MENTIONED TO GET HIGHER
TONIGHT AND MAYBE MORE
DESTRUCTION LIKE THIS WILL
LINES. SHANNON BUTLER LIVE IN
WILL PROVIDE THE SEE JUST SOME
COMPELLING TELEVISION LAST
NIGHT WATCHING THIS HAPPEN IN
SHANNON, WHAT IS YOUR REACTION
TO WHAT YOU'RE SEEING NOW WITH
DAYLIGHT?
DAYLIGHT?
DAYLIGHT? >> WELL, GREG, WE FINALLY GOT
DOWN TO THE BEACH. WE COULD
NOT DO THAT LAST NIGHT BECAUSE
THE WINDS WERE JUST TOO HIGH
AND SO WAS THE TIDE. BUT NOW
WE'RE STANDING HERE AND NOW WE
ARE GETTING A GROUND. LOOK,
TAKE A LOOK AT THIS. THIS WAS
SOMEONE'S SWIMMING POOL. YOU
CAN SEE THE LATTER. YOU CAN
SEE THIS CONCRETE JUST IN
RUBBLE. NOW I WANT TO GIVE YOU
SOME KIND OF PERSPECTIVE IF
I'D COME THIS WAY. THIS IS THE
SEAWALL.
SEAWALL.
SEAWALL. >> IS THE SEAWALL IF KERRY
FLIPS AROUND JUST HOW LOOK HOW
FAR IN THIS EROSION WHEN
UNDERNEATH THIS HOUSE IS A
BRAND-NEW HOUSE TEETERING ON
THE EDGE THERE JUST UNDER
CONSTRUCTION. IF KERRY FLIPS
AROUND A LITTLE BIT TO THE
LEFT, YOU CAN SEE.
>> THOSE WALKWAYS TO THE BEACH
HAVE BEEN JUST SEARED OFF WHEN
WE COME DOWN A ONE A FROM
DAYTONA BEACH AND WE DROVE
HERE.
HERE.
HERE. >>
HERE. >> THERE ARE OFFICERS ALONG
WILBUR BY THE SEA BECAUSE
THOSE OFFICERS HAD GONE HOUSE
BY HOUSE. AND WHEN YOU LOOK AT
THE GARAGES, THE GARAGES HAVE
BIG YELLOW CIRCLES ON IT. AND
AND THAT SHOULD LET THEM KNOW
THAT THEY'VE BEEN CHECKED
THOSE HOMES AND THEN SIGNS ON
THERE THAT THEY SAY IS UNSAFE.
ALL OF THESE HOMES HERE,
PEOPLE WILL HAVE TO EVACUATE.
THEY WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO GO
BACK. YOU CAN SEE WHY I WANT
TO SHOW YOU SOMETHING BECAUSE
THIS IS A CONCRETE WALL OUT
RIGHT HERE. CARY, TAKE IT.
TAKE A LOOK RIGHT HERE. THIS
IS PURE CONCRETE. JUST SNAPPED
IN HALF JUST THE LINE HERE.
THIS IS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE ALL
UP AND DOWN WILBUR BY THE SEA.
REALLY, AS FAR AS YOU CAN SEE
ALL OF THOSE HOMES THERE
DAMAGED. WE ARE LOOKING AT AIR
CONDITIONERS JUST HANGING OFF
HOUSES LATTER'S POOLS, HOT
TUBS THAT ARE ALMOST OUT TO
THE OCEAN. AND AGAIN,
REMEMBER, THIS ISN'T HIGH TIDE
SO WE CAN STAND HERE ON THE
BEACH, BUT IT IS DEVASTATING
TO LOOK AT. WE KNOW WHAT THIS
AREA LOOKS LIKE. WE'VE ALL
BEEN HERE. WE'VE ALL SPENT
TIME HERE WITH OUR FAMILIES.
IT IS A BEAUTIFUL, BEAUTIFUL
PART OF CENTRAL FLORIDA. RIGHT
NOW. IT IS DESTROYED. IT WILL
BE A LONG TIME BEFORE THESE
PEOPLE CAN REBUILD. THERE WAS
ACTUALLY A HOUSE, JUST A
COUPLE HOUSES DOWN. BIG ROCKS
ARE BEING DELIVERED RIGHT NOW.
THEIR HOUSE IS NOT DEEMED
UNSAFE YET, BUT ALREADY THIS
MORNING THEY ARE REBUILDING
THE SEA WHILE TRYING TO SAVE
THEIR HOME BECAUSE THEY DO NOT
KNOW WHAT THE NEXT HIGH TIDE
WILL BRING. SO ALREADY PEOPLE
HERE THAT HAVEN'T FALLEN IN
YET ARE TRYING TO PREVENT THAT
FROM HAPPENING. BUT RIGHT NOW,
THIS AREA REALLY IS BLOCKED
OFF TO ANYONE WHO DOESN'T LIVE
HERE. THEY ARE TRYING TO KEEP
PEOPLE OUT OF THIS AREA AS
THEY STILL ARE TRYING TO
ASSESS JUST WHAT KIND OF IS
HERE. DAYTONA BEACH, VOLUSIA
COUNTY REALLY HIT HARD BY THIS
AND THEY WANT PEOPLE TO
UNDERSTAND THAT THIS WAS NOT
JUST, YOU KNOW, THIS STORM,
BUT ALSO HURRICANE AND THAT
JUST WALLOPED THIS AREA BACKED
TO BACK RIGHT NOW. AGAIN,
